Research starts with PhD students

Chapter 166: To prepare for others' wedding? Zhang Shuo: Complete the research in one day!
"A free mission..."

"Okay!"

Zhang Shuo thought he had a very good understanding of the Liplos-Pamir equation.

The bonus to understanding the task is not of much help.

However, the tasks are rewarded with scientific research coins, and you can never have too many scientific research coins. If you have enough scientific research coins, any research task can be completed quickly. He also plans to "spend coins" to 1000 points so that he can start another task and do more research at the same time.

The Liplos-Pamir equation explains the relationship between electromagnetic energy loss and force field chaos in particle collision experiments.

This is a study of the relationship between energy and force.

Relationship research does not mean that energy is transformed into force. Energy is energy and force is force. There is no direct transformation relationship between the two, otherwise energy will no longer be conserved.

The chaos in the force field is caused by electromagnetic force.

In particle collision experiments, the transformation between forces can be understood as the appearance of an "intersection" between electromagnetic force and other forces, just like several forks appearing in the middle of a straight line, resulting in chaos in the force field.

The reason why energy loss occurs during the experiment is mainly due to the measurement problems caused by the chaos of the force field.

For example, a metal ball carries electromagnetic energy. When the ball moves to the left, it also has kinetic energy.

The overall energy of the ball is 20.

While the electromagnetic force is accelerating the ball, it suddenly transforms into other forces. The forces applied to the ball are not to the left, but to the right.

As a result, the speed of the ball will be lower than expected, and the total energy of the ball will eventually decrease, and there will be a deviation from the expected movement.

Of course, particle collision experiments are relatively more complicated. In the process, the force field is converted into a force field. The Liplos-Pamir equation explains this mathematical relationship model.

Therefore, the research itself is done through the data released by the Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics to perform underlying calculations, research and analysis, and to shape the relationship between experimental parameters. Now that we know the answer and how to derive the process, the research naturally becomes very easy.

Even if the difficulty of the research task is A-level, the difficulty level does not matter if you know all the answers.

“Although the data is complex and the statistics are complicated, the research should be the same.”

“It’s about filtering out the main data, making data models, and conducting various types of analysis.”

"Then you can shape functions and derive equations..."

"If you don't know the Liplos-Pamir equation, it would be very difficult to do research, but now..."

"We are about to complete the first level of the A-level mission."

Zhang Shuo felt very excited when he thought about it, and he threw himself into the research with full enthusiasm.

I was stuck in the office all day.

Sun Xingli came once during the trip, Li Liu Shuangyue came at noon, and Tan Youming also came for a walk in the afternoon.

Seeing that Zhang Shuo was busy with his research, they did not disturb him.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Liu Shuangyue walked to the door of Zhang Shuo's office carrying an exquisite lunch box.

She happened to see Sun Xingli coming over and immediately asked, "Professor Dali, what is he doing today?"

She was referring to Zhang Shuo.

Sun Xingli glanced down at the lunch box, smacked his lips vigorously, and said jokingly, "What's in it? It looks pretty good."

Li Liu Shuangyue immediately protected her lunch box and looked at Sun Xingli with vigilance.

"just kidding!"

Sun Xingli said depressedly, "Do you think I look like someone who would snatch food?"

Li Liu Shuangyue wanted to nod, she knew that Sun Xingli and Zhang Shuo knew each other very well, and could be said to be very good friends, but it was precisely because they were good friends that the "food grabbing" incident happened.

Sun Xingli simply said, "I don't know what Zhang Shuo is researching. He didn't go out all day today. But that's normal. He will be like this occasionally. Maybe he has some inspiration."

At this time, Tan Youming pushed the door and walked out.

He said, "But um, it might be the study of NS equations. I went there this morning and saw a piece of rough paper with very complicated contents written on it."

He said, shaking his head and just walked away.

Just as Tan Youming was about to leave, Yang Haifeng arrived.

Yang Haifeng greeted Tan Youming and went upstairs only to notice that Zhang Shuo's office door was closed, with a man and a woman blocking the door.

He pointed at Zhang Shuo's door and asked, "What's going on?"

"Academician Yang."

Sun Xingli called out politely, and reminded Li Liu Shuangyue that the plain-looking old man in front of him was also an academician. Then he whispered, "Zhang Shuo should be doing research, right? It's been a day, it's time for him to come out."

"Do you have something to do with him?" he asked.

Yang Haifeng nodded and said, "The Institute of High Energy Physics is going to conduct a new experiment and has invited many scholars in the field of theoretical physics to hold a theoretical physics research conference. I want to ask Zhang Shuo if he wants to go."

"Let me knock on the door for you."

After hearing this, Sun Xingli walked over and knocked on the office door, then heard a "come in" from inside.

Several people walked in.

Zhang Shuo was sorting out the documents on the table. Seeing so many people coming, he put the documents aside, stood up and asked Yang Haifeng, "Academician Yang, what's up?"

"Is such that."

Yang Haifeng sat on the sofa and started talking about the experiments and meetings at the Institute of High Energy Physics.

The experiment of the Institute of High Energy Physics was released years ago. It was mainly a supporting experiment for the CP group and also attracted great attention at home and abroad.

This was expected.

The news that the Institute of High Energy Physics is going to hold a theoretical physics conference is brand new. They plan to convene scholars in the field of theoretical physics to study and discuss the large-scale time experimental deviation analysis data released by the Computing Center.

The data released by the Computing Center can be said to be a feast in the field of theoretical physics.

A completely new experimental analysis may reveal an unknown physical phenomenon that can be studied based on the data.

"The scale of domestic theoretical physics conferences is generally small, but this time the Institute of High Energy Physics took the lead and focused on the data released by the Computing Center. Many famous scholars were invited."

"I'm also invited, Zhang Shuo, do you want to attend?" Yang Haifeng didn't ask Zhang Shuo whether he was invited or not, because there was no need to ask.

The large-scale experimental deviation analysis algorithm was originally developed by Zhang Shuo. He supported the CP group's experiments with his own research theory. He was not even invited, but half a host. "Early next month, right? Professor Yan Ming contacted me, and I should go."

"That's great. We'll go together then." After Yang Haifeng and Zhang Shuo made their appointment, they talked about something related. "Have you paid attention to the domestic news? Discussions about the data information of the computing center."

"What news?"

Zhang Shuo really didn't know. He spent the whole day doing research and didn't pay any attention to news issues.

"I know this."

Sun Xingli suddenly said, "There are criticisms in the public opinion that computing centers should not share data."

"Why?" Zhang Shuo was stunned.

The large-scale experimental deviation analysis algorithm is indeed unique to the computing center. If the data is not shared, it will generally involve applications. The confidentiality of the theoretical research direction is not high and it is meaningless.

Why do this?
"Because the results are all from abroad!" Sun Xingli said, "I saw a lot of people discussing it. Many foreign scholars have researched some things based on the data and published papers. There are very few such results in China."

Yang Haifeng went on to say, “I’ve read several studies that look fake, but there’s no way to disprove them.”

He talked about several theoretical research papers he had read.

There are now some theoretical physicists around the world who have conducted research on the data of large-scale experimental deviation analysis algorithms released by computing centers and published related papers.

"One study suggests that the deviation is due to statistical problems caused by imperfect particle collisions."

You can imagine two spheres colliding. If it is not a head-on collision, but just a contact of the edges, the collision is naturally incomplete, and the subsequent data statistics will be affected.

Yang Haifeng continued, "Another study explains this problem from the perspective of spatial dimension, arguing that a large number of extremely tiny particles jump into the fifth dimension."

“That creates a statistical bias.”

Zhang Shuo didn't know how to react for a moment.

The spatial dimension is a physical content with a somewhat "fantasy" color, but there are still many theoretical physicists who believe in the existence of high-dimensional space. As long as they believe in the existence of high-dimensional space, it is possible for tiny particles in particle collision experiments to enter other dimensional spaces.

From the perspective of physics and mathematics, the existence of high-dimensional space can never be disproven. The only difference is whether you believe it or not.

"Another theory is that the composite deviation can be understood as the influence of large particles, just like the particle blank area that appears in the small-scale experimental deviation analysis can be understood as the blocking effect of large particles."

Yang Haifeng shook his head and said, "This explanation is really a bit outrageous, but it was actually published in a physics journal, and the author of the paper is a professor at Cambridge University."

He talked about several studies in succession.

Zhang Shuo asked, "Are all these studies by foreign scholars?"

"Yes, they were all published in influential physics journals." Yang Haifeng said, "That's the problem."

"In the field of basic physics, foreign scholars are more famous and their research submissions are more likely to be approved because they are studying theoretical physics and are new and unknown phenomena. They don't even need any rigorous proofs. As long as they come up with an idea, they can publish it."

"The situation in China is different. The submissions of our research must have perfect mathematical logic, or the individual must have a certain influence."

Yang Haifeng said, "I have also done research on this, but it is not perfect at all."

"This is exactly the problem that the public opinion is talking about. After the computing center released the data, it seemed as if all the research was done by foreign scholars, who published one paper after another. This is still rare in China, not to mention being published in influential academic journals."

What he was talking about was the different levels of difficulty in publishing questions.

If we make a comparison, the number of papers published by domestic scholars ranks first in the world, but it also needs to be divided by field and influence. In the field of theoretical physics, the number of papers published by domestic scholars does not have an advantage, and it can even be said that there is a big disadvantage.

In the field of theoretical physics, there are very few well-known scholars in China. It is much more difficult for them to publish theoretical physics research papers in physics journals in Zone 2 or above than for well-known foreign scholars.

This is where the problem lies.

After the Computing Center of the Institute of High Energy Physics released the data, it didn't take long to realize that there were already many research results abroad, while the number of related research in China was very scarce.

The news was discussing this issue. The data released by the Computing Center seemed to have become a physics feast for foreign scholars. From a higher perspective, it was like making a wedding dress for others.

This is what the public discussion is about.

Since most of the research comes from foreign scholars, we should simply stop sharing data or only provide data to domestic scholars.

Zhang Shuo commented, "There are too few influential physics journals in China, and it is normal that most of the research results are submitted abroad."

He immediately said, "But whether the research is correct or not does not depend on the number of papers published, right? No matter how many papers are published, the unknown physical phenomena contained in the particle collision experiment will not change."

"Experimental research is still going on, analysis is still going on, and no matter how many are published, in the end only one theory will be correct."

He smiled and said, "Academician Yang, I have also studied this problem and have achieved some results. I am just sorting out the materials and preparing to submit it to JHEP (Journal of High Energy Physics)."

"Now that you mention this issue, I need to think again about whether to submit my article to a domestic magazine."

"Why submit to a domestic magazine?"

Yang Haifeng immediately rejected the idea. He shook his head and said, "If you have research results, you should strive to be the world's leading company and publish them in top journals. Don't be influenced by domestic public opinion. What's the point of publishing in a domestic journal that has no influence and no one will pay attention to it?"

“Although there are many related studies internationally, the truly recognized top journals have not yet published relevant research. If you can publish the first one, you can turn the situation around!”

"There are few influential academic journals in China, and this problem cannot be solved in a day or two..."

Yang Haifeng suddenly realized what he was talking about and asked, "When did you do the research? Is the result good enough to be submitted to JHEP?"

"I analyzed the data released by the computing center yesterday, and I think it's OK."

"..."

Yang Haifeng didn’t know what to say for a moment. The analysis he did yesterday had results today, and he still wanted to submit it to a top journal in high-energy physics?

This sounds too outrageous.

He did not hold out much hope for the research content, and perhaps when Zhang Shuo said "it might be possible", it really was "possible".

He still commented, "If it were you... JHEP, they would probably consider passing it, right? You've published a paper there."

What he meant was that Zhang Shuo's personal influence was huge, especially in the field of high-energy physics, and JHEP might still approve the paper even if the research content was a little worse.

Zhang Shuo didn’t explain much. He couldn’t possibly say that he had completed the research before the data was released, right?
Completing the research in one day was also smoother than expected.

The entire research process is to do statistical data and calculations step by step. It feels like solving a complex math problem. The problem-solving process is already in the mind, and all you have to do is write it down.

So the research is done.
